Solar Energy Sector Feels Frustrated and Aneel’s Proposal Will Be Subject to Public Consultation, But Industry Institutions Have Already Spoken Against It
Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) has submitted for public consultation a measure that will tax the value of solar energy that consumers produce in their homes from solar panels. Wind Energy Attracting Many Investments, See Here!
The measure is a cold shower for the solar energy sector, which through the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar), estimates that the tax will increase costs by 68% for the portion sent to the distributor.
Currently, residential consumers receive nearly 100% of the energy they send back to the grid as credit on their electricity bills, and according to the president of Absolar, Rodrigo Sauaia, the change, if confirmed, means a significant disincentive to the installation of such systems.

Even with the adoption of a transition period, until 2030, for those who install solar panels before the rule change, the measure is very bad for those who invested in installations expecting a longer return period. “From a legal and regulatory security standpoint, it’s a terrible change,” added the president of Absolar.
Public Consultation
The deadline for public consultation is 45 days, and Absolar will request an extension so that the topic can be better discussed with society.
The intention of the measure by Aneel is to compensate for the investments made in infrastructure by the energy distribution company.
For Marcio Takata, director of the consultancy and research company Greener, the measure needs to be better debated before being issued and cannot be a disincentive to solar energy generated in residences, not only from a financial perspective but above all for being a clean source.
“The major point of concern is that the reduction in the credit value was significant, in a short-term scenario. It brings about a very large change and impact on the attractiveness of installations and projects,” he stated. Source: Aneel
